The question of whether or not you should take human growth hormone is actually a little more complicated than one may think. At first thought, the idea of taking human growth hormone - or taking anything like that, for that matter - makes us imagine overdoses and all kinds of problems. Thing is though, human growth hormone is natural and as a result it couldn't really be predicted if it will hurt or kill you.

I knew a guy who had tried a little of it (he was young too, about 17) to boost his highschool football career so he could be recruited in college. Expensive stuff, and it didn't seem to bother him one bit. In fact, for 17 he was...well, let's just say he didn't look like your average 17 year old male.

Thing is though that all of this is pointless because human growth hormone is illegal. There's no point in bothering with it because you'll get busted sometime sooner or later. And besides - relying on such a powerful performance enhancer is not good for your own skill level anyway as an athlete.
